The wing's mission is to provide enroute capability to accelerate air mobility for war fighters throughout the Pacific, utilizing command and control, aerial port operations and aircraft maintenance.

[1] The 515th controls, loads, unloads, and repairs mobility aircraft en route through the Pacific area.

After a little more than a year of trying to use traditional Table of Organization units like the 15th, ATC found them too inflexible for its operations.

[3] Accordingly, in October 1943 the group was disbanded as ATC combined its units at Morrison into Station 11, Caribbean Wing, Air Transport Command.
